This experience brings together two sides of local culture that travelers rarely experience in one place: the social ritual of Vietnamese coffee and the hands-on creativity of Hmong textile art.
Instead of simply watching a demonstration, you make your own egg coffee and salt coffee, then create traditional-inspired beeswax patterns with your own hands. Hosted in a local home in Ta Van Village, the workshop offers a slower, more personal way to connect with Sapa — through tasting, creating, and sharing stories with local people.
It is a cultural experience you do, not just something you see.

What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Please make your way to Ta Van Village and find Giay's Local House. The workshop takes place inside the local house and creative space.
What to expect
First, learn how to prepare two local favorites: creamy egg coffee and savory salt coffee. Follow the simple steps, make your own drinks, and enjoy them fresh.
Then discover the traditional Hmong beeswax-resist technique used to create patterns on fabric. Learn how beeswax is applied by hand before the fabric is dyed with natural indigo.
Finally, create your own beeswax design with guidance from your local host. Take your time, experiment with the patterns, and enjoy a relaxed creative experience surrounded by the atmosphere of Ta Van Village.
You will spend around three hours tasting, creating, and learning about local traditions through direct hands-on activities.
